Forgot Password (Password resetting) in Kerala PSC

The main reason to write this post is the contradiction of the Password resetting technique used by Kerala PSC  with others.

For Resetting Keralapsc Password  you need  > User ID, Date of Birth, ID Proof given in the profile, ID Proof No. (OR from your registered mobile phone just send a sms to 537252 in the following format = KPSC<space>RSE<space>userid<space><dateofbirth>

Next is the tricky part usually we will look for a password reset link in our email but in the case of Keralapsc.org the new password is predetermined, that is

"your new password will be the first six characters of User ID followed by digits of date of birth"

For example
Your userid = hariabcdef12
Your date of birth = 25/09/1990
Then Your NEW PASSWORD = hariab20091990
